Chunky Applesauce Cinnamon Pancakes

I was looking around for something different to make for breakfast that didn’t involve a whole lot of extra ingredients and time. Sometimes you get sick of the usual eggs, toast or cereal. I came across a Taste of Home recipe for Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes, which I pinned. It looked simple to make and had only 4 ingredients.

The recipe called for a cup of chunky applesauce. All I had was regular applesauce in the freezer, but I had apples in the refrigerator. So I figured it would not take long to cook the apple to make my own chunky applesauce.Here are the ingredients you will need: complete buttermilk pancake mix, ground cinnamon, chunky applesauce, and water.

If you have chunky applesauce use that but if you don’t here is how to make you own: Peel and core enough apple to make about 1 1/3 cup of uncooked apple. Dice into small pieces and put into a small pot, add a little bit of water and start the cooking process. Cook until the apples become soft. Take the pot off the heat and cool a little.

Measure out 1 cup of complete buttermilk pancake mix and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Whisk these together. Add 1 cup of chunky applesauce and 1/4 cup of water and stir until just mixed. My batter was a too thick so I added a little more water.

Pour batter unto a hot griddle or nonstick fry pan and cook on first side until bubbles form on the top. Flip over on the other side until golden brown.
